While our backgrounds and experiences are diverse, we share a deep commitment to Jesus Christ, to each other, and our neighbors. Watch these stories of faith in the everyday lives of Mormons. You can also meet Mormons here.

Our faith influences nearly every aspect of our lives. Beyond simply believing in Jesus Christ, we try to bring His teachings to life at home, at work and in our communities. Here are a few of the cultural priorities embraced by members of the Church around the world.

We are all spiritual children of a loving
Heavenly Father who sent us to this earth to learn and grow in a mortal state. As Mormons,
we are followers of Jesus Christ. We live our lives
to serve Him and teach of His eternal plan for each of us.

Hi I'm Sterling

I'm a husband, a father, a social worker and I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a new dad, I am going to school right now for my Master's in Social Work and working at a Family Center for Asians. I have a BS in Psychology. I love road trips with my wife and baby, reading and playing video games.

Why I am a Mormon

I love my wife and daughter more than I could ever express. I want to be with them forever and i believe that it is only through the true gospel of Jesus Christ and his atonement that this can happen. I believe that God has a plan for all of us and that if we obey his commandments and do our very best we can be with those we love forever. I can think of no better gift.

Personal Stories

How has The Book of Mormon helped you understand the purpose of life?

I have often thought about the purpose of life and what my own purpose was. After reading the Book of Mormon I have found that it shows very clearly that the role of this life is to learn, to sacrifice and to grow. The examples in the Book of Mormon of different prophets and of Jesus Christ himself have shown how they have fulfilled their purpose in this life by doing what is right, by sacrificing and doing one's best to do whatever it takes to follow Jesus Christ.

How I live my faith

In the community I am in charge of organizing Sunday School classes. I participate in community service projects, visit families in need in the boundaries of my specific area and try to live in a way that shows others that I am a believer of Christ and his teachings.

Frequently Asked Questions

-

Are Mormons Christians?

Absolutely. We believe in Jesus Christ and his atonement and rely on Him for our salvation. We may not be seen as being "historical Christians" because our faith does not follow the line of Catholicism or other Christian sects. However, we believe that in 1820 Joseph Smith restored the original Church of Jesus Christ with prophets and apostles, just like in the days of old. In this way we are firm believers in the original Church of Jesus Christ and follow his example as portrayed in the Holy Bible and in the Book of Mormon.

Yes, Mormons are definitely Christians! The official name of our church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. In fact during the course of the Book of Mormon, Christ appears and ministers to the people of The Book of Mormon. We just like other Christian denominations believe that Christ is our Savior. I personally know that Jesus Christ is my Savior. He lived and died for me, and the atonement makes it possible for me to be forgiven and cleansed from my sins.

What is the Mormon lifestyle like? How do Mormons live?

The "Mormon Lifestyle" is more normal than most think. We go to school, have jobs and families, and participate in many of the same activities that everybody else does! However, we choose to keep the commandments of God and abstain from immorality, drugs, alcohol, and any situation that drives the spirit of the Lord away! We put a lot of emphasis on living a faithful life and strengthening our relationships with our Heavenly Father, with Jesus Christ, and within our own families. Things like going to church, personal scripture reading, and prayer help us to do this!
